When talking about ideas and inspiration, it is important to mention a few points:
Especially about this design, which is said to be inspired by the shape of a bat's wing.
1. It seems that using a winged form or arms that are separated from a center is suitable for solving the internal plan of an airport. But the linear form is better for airplanes.
2. Direct inspiration from shapes is not considered valuable in architecture. Like simile in literature, which has less value than metaphor.
3. No observer understands the work of architecture from a bird's eye view so that he is delighted to see it. So it is better to look for human views in design.
4. The most important issue of designing an airport, despite its symbolic design, arises from solving physical relationships and these two intersect.
